Over $35 million to be spent on Regular Municipal Capital Works Projects
Lloyd Matthews, Minister of Municipal and Provincial Affairs, today announced projects approved under the Regular Municipal Capital Works program, the first part of the largest provincial municipal capital works program ever funded in the province. When combined with the recently-introduced Multi-Year Municipal Capital Works program, which is expected to be announced shortly, over $135 million is expected to be spent in building and upgrading municipal infrastructure throughout the province.
Under the Regular Municipal Capital Works program, 148 water and sewer, road and recreation projects have been approved for 1999/2000. The provincial government will contribute $19,166,000. This amount, combined with a contribution by municipalities of $15,948,000, totals $35,114,000 that will be spent on municipal capital works projects approved under the program this year.
Projects approved under the program consist of 103 water and sewer projects valued at $15,307,000, 45 road projects valued at $10,135,000; five recreation projects valued at $6,303,000; five solid waste management projects valued at $599,000; 12 fire trucks valued at $1,800,000; and seven municipal building projects valued at $1,330,000. Work on most projects is expected to begin immediately.
This year's Regular Municipal Capital Works program is expected to create in excess of 800 direct and indirect jobs.
Mr. Matthews said this work is being spread throughout the whole of the province and is serving to stimulate and accelerate economic activity. A total of 100 communities are sharing in the 1999/2000 Regular Municipal Capital Works Program.
He said these infrastructure projects are creating new and improved municipal assets for communities throughout the province and that they also serve to increase the tax base of municipalities. He said: "For some communities, this funding means better drinking water. For others, the roads that are being constructed, upgraded and/or paved will improve transportation links. Together with new and improved recreational facilities, they will help us in our efforts to enhance the tourism potential of our province," Mr. Matthews said.
The minister said the infrastructure funding is addressing the most pressing needs and is being distributed fairly and equitably throughout the province. He said: "These projects will not only serve to accelerate economic recovery through the creation of jobs, but they also provide residents of the province with a more positive outlook for the future. These represent a significant investment in municipal infrastructure and they also represent an investment in the future of our province."
Minister Matthews added that the proposals for the Multi-Year Municipal Capital Works program closed on May 31, 1999, and the final evaluation of these is nearing completion. Announcements can be expected in the near future after this process is finalized and discussions are concluded with municipalities applying under the program.
